IMPROVEMENT IN STAIR-RODS.

Figure 2 isa longitudinal horizontal section of the same, when made of metal;

Figure 3 is a like representation of the rod, when `made of wood;

Figure 4 is a front view, as fig. l, with the-ring instead of the cap-fastening; and

Figure 5 is a horizontal section of fig. 4.

This invention relates to an improved fastening for stair-rods; and

It consists, in the combination with said rod, of an end-cap, or over-ring, sliding freely upon or over the rod, and a hook, T, whereby a secured and neat fastening is obtained, as hereafter specified.

A is a rod, which may be made of any shape or material, as taste or fancy may dictate.4

B is the staircase, to which it is desired to attach the rod A.

C is a cap, or C is a ring, both made of proper shape and size, towslip freely over the rod A; and

-'l` is a hook, driven or screwed into the staircase, as indicated in the drawings.

The rod A, when made of wood, has a slotted hole, H or S, made at both of its ends, of proper dimensions to receive the hook T.

When the rod A is made of metal, only one slotted hole, K, is required, at one of its sides, but at both ends.

The ring C', or cap, O, has a small slotted hole, D, cut on one of its sides, so that the shank of the hook T may enter therein, and enable the ring C', or cap, C, to be slipped far enough to eectually conceal the slotted hole H or S, in the wooden rods A.

By this arrangement, the wooden rods are made reversible, and when Athey are pushed, so as to allow of the hooks T entering the holes H or S, and the rings C', or caps O are slipped, so, as to engage under the hook T, the rods are made perfectly fast to the hook.

Claim.

The end-caps G, or rings C', slipping freely over the ends of the slotted rod A, and in combination with the hooks T, all constructed as shown and described, and for the purpose set forth.
